Interesting stat I heard from John Oliver, 1 in 1000 black deaths are at the hands of the police.

Posted by Loyola Jun 10 '20, 11:10

I wanted to see how that compared to corona deaths and; 1 in 4400 white are from Covid 19.

So for the black population, death by cop is 4 times more deadly than corona is for a white person.

And they have cops every year.
